Paupa is a Los Angeles-based music producer known for crafting hard-hitting, genre-blending beats that define the evolving sound of West Coast hip-hop. Born and raised in Inglewood with Belizean and African American roots, Paupa began producing in 2014, quickly developing a style that fuses street-level grit with melodic, radio-ready polish.

His breakout came with $tupid Young and Mozzy’s viral hit “Mando” — a track that earned RIAA Gold certification, major radio play, and a feature on NBA 2K23’s soundtrack. Since then, Paupa has worked with a growing list of notable names including E-40, Blueface, Ty Dolla $ign, G-Eazy, and $tupid Young, contributing standout records like “Trust Nobody” and Benny Soliven’s “Put You On.”

In 2019, Paupa was featured on the debut episode of Netflix’s “Rhythm & Flow,” further spotlighting his rising influence in the industry. Known for his versatility and fearless approach, he’s as comfortable producing for club records as he is for emotionally raw, narrative-driven tracks.

Paupa is currently affiliated with MAKING HISTORY RECORDS and continues to develop emerging talent while expanding his catalog across hip-hop, R&B, and beyond. With nearly a decade in the game and no signs of slowing down, Paupa is shaping the sound of tomorrow — one beat at a time.
